Improvement of supply and demand pattern of Civil Titanium Materials

Guojin Securities believes that at present, the pattern of civil titanium is constantly improving. In the supply pattern, the environmental protection inspector "two break three clear" causes 95% of the titanium enterprises in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province to stop production, at the same time superimposed the sponge titanium price rise, the supply dividend gathers to the leading; Downstream demand, petrochemical refining titanium material with the large refining and chemical base project investment and ushered in the demand peak. We believe that the company is the only leader in the complete industrial chain of casting-forging-titanium processing in China, which will significantly benefit from the improvement of titanium supply and demand pattern.

In August, environmental inspectors "cut off water, power, raw materials, equipment and venues" and 95% of titanium enterprises in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, shut down production and closed down, according to the China Nonferrous Metals newspaper. This time, Baoji area as long as eight months of environmental inspectors have a great impact, almost all enterprises stop production, can be called the most stringent in history.

It is reported that the main problem of environmental protection this time is that waste water and dust are not up to standard. The reporter learned that more than 95% of the private titanium enterprises in Baoji have cut off water and power, and some workshops of Baoti Group have also stopped production because they are not up to the standard. Different from the typical heavy pollution industries such as metallurgy and chemical industry, it is considered that the impact of the machining industry on the environment is very slight, but when the environmental protection inspectors come, they will know the strictness of the relevant policies. Even if the discharge is very small, dust and sewage are not allowed to be treated without qualified treatment. As a result, under the strict environmental protection policy, the water and electricity were cut off, resulting in a complete shutdown of production.

The demand for High-end Titanium material in the Future is good for the benefit of the Company

At present, the domestic high-end titanium material is mainly used in the military field, and the aviation titanium material mainly comes from Baoti stock and western superconductor. According to the calculation of Northeast Securities, the company has an annual production capacity of 30,000 tons of titanium ingots and 20,000 tons of titanium materials, which is in a leading position in the domestic market and is an excellent supplier to China Aerospace Science and Technology Group. At the same time, it is also a strategic partner of Boeing in the United States, Airbus in France, Snickma in France, Goodrich in the United States, Bombardier in Canada and Rolls-Royce in the United Kingdom. At present, titanium sales are mainly divided into civilian products, military products and export business. Relatively speaking, the gross profit margin of military business is higher, and the gross profit margin of civilian business is lower. The composition of order structure determines the performance of the company.

In the first half of 2018, the company's product orders and sales increased significantly, achieving titanium sales of 5796.79 tons, an increase of 45.04 percent over the same period last year. In the third quarter of 2018, the net profit was 63 million yuan, an increase of 152% over the same period last year, and the performance was greatly improved.
